The popular TV program Readers has prompted（促使） more people in China to practice reading aloud in booths（亭）set up in big cities across the country.
As the latest TV show to help people’s love for literature recover, the CCTV program Readers invites people from all walks of life to read aloud their favourite poems, essays and books, or even personal letters they wrote to their loved ones. Just as the weekly show has been popular, its reading booths which are equipped with professional recording devices and cameras have also become instant hits.
more than 200 people were pictured lining up outside the Shanghai Library at 11 a.m. on March 4th —the first day of the booth’s opening to the public in Shanghai. The deadline for registrations（注册）was brought forward to 2 p.m. instead of the scheduled 5:30 p.m., as the number of waiting readers continued to grow. Some waited more than nine hours for a tryout（试用）in the booth,  according to library management.
“There is an old photo in the late 1970s capturing people lining up outside the Shanghai Library before it opens. If that was a spring of reading in Shanghai, now I think another spring has arrived again,” library manager Zhou Deming, told The Paper.
The reading booth is the only one of its kind in the city of economic centre at the moment, but more are expected to be put into use in the coming months, according to the library’s website.
The program has also led to booths in other cities including Beijing, Hangzhou, Guangzhou and Xi’an to appeal to more people to read and share their life stories.
With the recent boom of culture themed TV shows such as Readers and Chinese Poetry Congress, some are optimistic that this will help the country love literature and reading again in general.
49．What does the underlined word “hits” in the passage mean?
A．Popularity. B．Program. C．Interest. D．Topic.
50．Which of the following is NOT true?
A．The booth in Shanghai opened on March 4th at 11 a.m.
B．If you registered at 5 pm that day,  you couldn’t get in.
C．There was even a photo of the booth opening day in Shanghai.
D．There will be more and more reading booths in the future.
51．The passage mainly tells that ________.
A．many people line up to read aloud in reading booths
B．more reading booths will be set up in the future
C．Readers has become popular all over China
D．Readers has attracted more people to read aloud in reading booths
C
Very soon after Roberta wrote to the old gentleman, the three children were walking through the tunnel when they heard a cry.
The children ran deeper into the tunnel. Before long, they found a boy. He was lying on the ground.
“What happened?” Roberta asked him.
“I’m Jim. I was walking through the tunnel when I tripped. I think I’ve broken my leg.” “The 11:15 train is due soon,” Peter said. “We must get you out of here.”
“I’ve been here for two hours,” the boy said. “I was on my way to the station to catch the train. It’s quicker through the tunnel than along the road.”
“It’s also more dangerous,” Roberta said.
Peter said. “We’ve got to get you out.” Then Peter and Phyllis helped Jim up. It was a difficult journey, but the children got there before the 11:15 train did. Finally, a signalman helped them and took Jim to Peter’s home.
Mother called for a doctor and helped Jim rest. The doctor said Jim needed to stay in bed for at least a month. Mother wrote a letter to Jim’s grandfather. She gave the letter to the doctor, who promised to post it.
“Can he stay with us?” Peter said. “We’d love to have a friend our own age.” “Sure,” said Mother.
A few days later, Jim’s grandfather came to take Jim home. The children were surprised to see him. “You’re our old gentleman!” they exclaimed.
“That’s right,” he said. “And I got your letter, Roberta.” “What letter?” Mother demanded
“Roberta wrote to me about her father,” the old gentleman said. “I was not surprised by what she said. I have thought for a long time that he was innocent. It was not possible that a guilty（有罪的）man could have such wonderful children. I think I can help you. Your father will soon be fee again.”
Two weeks later, Father came back home.
--Taken from The Railway Children
52．Which of the following word best describes Peter in the passage?
A．Helpful. B．Humorous. C．good-looking. D．Careless.
53．Why was Jim in the tunnel?
A．He wanted to look for the signalman.
B．It was a faster way to get to the station.
C．He was trying to pick some wild cherries.
D．He jumped off a train.
54．What does the underlined word “innocent” mean according to the passage?
A．自私的 B．无情的 C．贪婪的 D．无辜的
55．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．Jim needed to stay in bed for at least 2 weeks.
B．Peter wrote a letter to the old gentleman.
C．Peter asked his mother to let Jim stay with them.

When we are trying to get to any personal purpose (目标), one of the biggest problems is that we always put them off till tomorrow, or next week. Unluckily, tomorrow never gets here. If you want to finish a purpose, you have to start on it today. So what can you do to find the time for your personal purposes?
One purpose at a time.
Often the problem is that we try to take on too many purposes. We have a list of things we want to achieve, reading a book, learning French and many other difficult things. Maybe we are interested in them, but because of that, we never start. Instead, we can start with choosing one purpose at a time, because it’s difficult to keep the attention (注意力) and energy on too many purposes at once.
Make sure you really want it.
It’s not enough to say, “It would be nice to learn French” or “It would be cool to do yoga every morning”. It has to be something you really want. Ask yourself why you want to get to this purpose, and how much you want it. That’s important to do early on, or you won’t make time for it.
Keep it easy.
It’s important not to make your personal purpose too difficult. You don’t want to have a huge list of things to do in order to achieve your purpose. Instead, pay attention to a smaller purpose that will lead you to your bigger purpose.
Stay focused (集中的).
One of the most difficult things to achieve purposes is keeping your attention on that purpose. It’s easy to become crazy about something else, and when we lose focus, we suddenly stop making time for the purpose. Instead, find ways to keep the attention.

Title: ___70__ to Make the Time for Your Personal Purposes
Usually we can’t achieve any personal purpose because of ___71___ them off till tomorrow. So if you want to finish a purpose, you must start on them now.
One purpose at a time

Sometimes we try to take on too many purposes at once. Maybe we show ___72___ in them but we never start. Instead, we can start with choosing one purpose at a time.
Make sure you really want it
There must be something you really want to do. Find out the ___73___ you want to get to this purpose and how much you want it.
Keep it easy
It’s important to make your personal purpose easy. Pay attention to a smaller purpose instead of a ___74___ one.
Stay focused (集中的)

The difficult thing is that it’s easy to become crazy about something else. So we must find ways to keep the attention.

Two years ago my husband bought me a bicycle. If you live in a town, it is often faster than a car and you don’t have to worry about parking. You can leave it in any place you like. As it has a seat at the back and a basket on the front, I can take my little daughter to school and the library, and I can go shopping in any place in fact. I use it most in summer when the weather is warm and dry. It can be very unpleasant in winter because the weather is cold and rainy. My husband uses my bicycle sometimes for a visit to his friend. He is not good at riding a bicycle, but he says it is better than waiting for a bus. He still likes his car best. I think sitting down in a car all day is making him fatter and fatter. On my bicycle I get a lot of exercise and fresh air, and riding makes me feel a lot younger.
